Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250 g) brown rice
  • 6 cups (1.5 l) water
  • 30 g gingersliced
  • 30 g chicken bouillon1 cube

Pork

  • 500 g pork ribs

Seasoning

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp white pepperground

Toppings

  • 2 whole century eggsquartered
  • 1 whole salted duck eggchopped(optional)

Garnish

  • 2 stalks spring onionssliced(optional)
  • 1 Tbsp fried onions(optional)

Method:

  1. Blanch the ribs (optional)
    • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pork ribs and boil for 3 minutes to remove excess fat and impurities.
    • Remove and rinse under cold running water. Set aside.
  2. Pressure cook
    • Load the pot: place the rice, pork, ginger, water, and chicken bouillon into the pressure cooker.
    • Close the lid and cook at High Pressure for 30 minutes.
    • Allow to Natural Release: this takes around 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the pork from the pressure cooker and set aside.
  4. Thicken the congee: toggle to Sauté mode.
    • If using salted duck egg, add it now so the flavour fuses into the congee.
    • Stir occasionally to prevent the bottom from burning. Continue until the congee reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Season the meat
    • While the congee is thickening, remove the bones from the ribs and shred the meat.
    • Season with salt, sesame oil, and white pepper.
  6. Finish and serve
    • Add the shredded pork back into the pot.
    • Top with century egg, garnish with spring onions and fried onions, and serve hot!

Notes:

Congee can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for 4–5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. It may thicken as it sits — stir in a splash of water to loosen.
